Professor Chauncey Rion Huffman, who created it, said it provides students with an opportunity to learn about street/documentary photography, architectural photography, portraiture, lifestyle photography, and photographic storytelling.
“The aim of the course is to help students create professional quality images while traveling,” he said, “but they also learn travel etiquette including how to navigate a major metropolitan area effectively.”
The course is open to all without prerequisites, regardless of major or level of photography experience. Huffman will provide hands-on guidance in each area of photography.
“New York City offers a unique blend of plentiful street photography, striking architecture, and cultural learning opportunities that are not found in many cities,” Huffman said. “Exploring this city with the knowledge of how to effectively capture images that tell a story about the experience will be at the heart of the course.”
To prepare for the trip, two warm up sessions will be held: one in Pittsburg on June 5 and one in Kansas City on June 19. These sessions will help students get comfortable with their equipment and provide an opportunity to practice their photography skills before the trip.
Cost: $500-$650 per person depending on attendance and fluctuating travel pricing.
Enrollment will begin April 7. For the enrollment schedule and other details visit pittstate.edu/registrar/enrollment-information.html
